LVDS to Ethernet

Hello, we are trying to bridge LVDS data to Ethernet, and searching on the forum I arrived to this question:

https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors/f/791/t/663167?tisearch=e2e-sitesearch&keymatch=lvds%252525252525252520ethernet

I would like to know if it was solved offline, or if TI has any way to simply transfer LVDS data to Ethernet.

Thank you

Hello,

I'm not aware of a solution for this, but I've reached out to some others who might. I'll update this thread once I hear back from everyone.

Hi, I heard back from the engineer that worked the original post you linked. The final result was that no solution could be found using the AM-series devices and they instead moved to a custom designed ASIC for the bridging.

Thank you for your time.

What a shame, since AM-series would be a killer match for our applications. From what I have checked, most solutions to this issue use a FPGA or a Serdes+LVDS driver. However a more dedicated, cost-effective and less power sonsuming processor would be fantastic.

Best regards

BTW, a bulb light. Probably you could use the CLB peripheral from your F28388D new family:
